About Sam

Experience: 2 yrs

Hello there! My name is Sam, and I'm a native New Yorker who loves animals. My experience with pets involves regularly taking care of my Grandma's cat named Casper, a 50lb pitbull-lab named Kyle who I fostered during college with separation anxiety, recent care of a 17-year-old pitbull-beagle named June who has arthritis, dementia, and kidney failure, and a young lab named Kaya. As for my other interests, I am currently exploring the intersection of technology and creative writing. I hold a BA in English lit with a minor in Computer Science from the University of Chicago, as well as a Master's of Arts in the Humanities, specializing in creative writing. I love all kinds of animals and care fiercely about them. Their care and mental health is top of mind for me! Let me know if this sounds like a good fit, and please let me know if you have any questions! Sam

Sam has been helping us with my very frail senior dog and he has been great. Very attentive to her, kind, and is all around very responsive. Would recommend to anyone looking for dog help
